Searching with year yields no result?

Hi all,
This search string doesn't return any results...
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=Maleficent+2014&language=en&api_key=xxxx
But this one does?
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=Maleficent&language=en&api_key=xxxx
Any ideas?

Hey Jörgen,
We haven't supported searching with a year in the query for around 2 years now. It's up to the client to decide how they want to handle this.
On the API side of things if you want to search for a year, you need to use the
?year=param as described in the docs.Cheers.

Hi Travis,
Maybe I should read the docs better ;-) Shame on me...
Thanks for the quick replay anyway!
